Jenny Ahmed writes shocking dystopian, science fiction, and political thrillers with punches that grab the readers. In February 2025, Jenny won a gold medal in the worldwide Literary Titan book contest for By Dawn's Early Light. The New York Weekly, the New York Telegraph, and the Tampa Bay Observer ran stories about her. Radio appearances have been on the Author Show and the Seeta Show throughout South Florida.
After a career as an ICU/ER nurse, law, and with a degree in genetics, Jenny has folded this knowledge into writing. Having the medical knowledge, Jenny can create more realistic works. Writing was always in Jenny's blood, and for many years worked as a writer and copywriter. She grew up on a farm in the south, and her only friends were her imagination and three horses.
Jenny is married and lives in New York City. She has a tribe of many grown children and grandchildren. Some of her weird hobbies are quilting, painting, gardening, fencing, playing the violin, piloting, and traveling. Hands down, Jenny's favorite place in the world is sitting in the Old Town of Prague, watching the Astronomical Clock and sipping on Grog. She loves collecting Moser glass and Matryoshka dolls.
